All Reviews for Windward East Oahu

Just as we were about to start, it started pouring rain. I got completely soaked, but I followed the advice that "there's a rental for raincoats, but you'll get hot along the way," and set off as is. By the time the sunlight filtered through the trees and I could see the ocean, I was completely dry. The course was sprinkled with highlights, and I'm glad I chose the two-hour route. The magnificent nature is breathtaking.

さあ、スタートという時に土砂降り。びっしょり濡れたけど、「レイン用のコートのレンタルがあるけれど、途中で暑くなるわよ」という助言に従って、そのまま出発。
木漏れ日が射してきて、海が見えるようになるころにはすっかり乾きました。コース中に見どころがちりばめられていて、２時間コースにして良かったです。雄大な自然は圧巻です。

Despite the heavy rain and calm sea without wind, we proceeded with the tour as planned. We arrived at the sandbar! Although it was cold and we were shivering, we decided to get into the water, but we couldn't stay in for more than five minutes before getting back on the boat. We ended up eating sandwiches in the leaking cabin. Some people went snorkeling, but they said it was too murky to see anything. Well, that makes sense! It was pointless to even go in.

When we finally thought we could go home, the pickup bus didn't arrive, and we had to wait for an hour in an empty parking lot. It was cold, but at least it didn't rain while we were waiting for the bus, which was a small relief.

In summary, while bad weather might be a matter of luck, I thought it was terrible that the tour continued just for the sake of money despite the conditions. Also, the waiting time for the bus felt like pure torture.

If I go again, I hope it will be when there isn't a hurricane!

大雨の中風がなく海は穏やかなので〜と言うことでそのままツアーします
との事でサンドバーまで行き到着！
雨と寒さでブルブル震えるなかせっかくなので
海に入りましたが５分と入ってられず船にあがり、雨漏りする船内でサンドイッチを食べました。シュノーケリングに出かけた方もいましたが濁っていて何も見えないと
そりゃ〜そうでしょう‼︎ 入るだけ無駄ですよ
無事に戻りやっと帰れると思ったら
迎えのバスが来ない、何もない駐車場に1時間も待たされました
寒かったけどバスの待ちは雨が降らなかった事が救いでした
感想 天候が悪いのは運なのかもしれませんが こんな状態でお金のためだけにツアーを中止にせず行うのは酷いなぁと思いました
また、バスの待ち時間は地獄そのものでした

次回もし行くならハリケーンが来ていない時にしたいものです

The four-wheeler and zip line experiences provided incredibly beautiful memories! I was worried that many Japanese women might drop out of the four-wheeler ride, so if you're concerned, there are options like bicycles and horses, which might be good alternatives. Either way, the scenery is amazing! Since it has been a filming location for places like Jurassic Park, checking it out in advance might enhance your enjoyment even more!

四輪バギーもジップラインも絶景シーンがとても素晴らしい思い出となりました！四輪バギーは日本人女性が離脱してしまうことも多そうなので、心配でしたら、自転車や馬などもあるようですので、そちらでもいいかもしれません。いずれにせよ景色最高です！ジュラシックパークなどの撮影地になっていますので、事前に見ておくとさらに楽しさが増すかもしれません！

Due to the impact of the hurricane, the sea was murky and not the beautiful water it usually is, which was disappointing. However, I had a great time with the staff and enjoyed myself. If I have the opportunity, I would like to participate again.

ハリケーンの影響で海が濁り、本来の綺麗な海ではなかったので、残念でしたが、スタッフの方と楽しく過ごせて、楽しかったです。又機会があれば、再度参加したいと思います。

The timing of the tides didn't align, so the sandbar didn't appear, and we were left with shallow waters about waist-deep.
During the sea turtle watching, we were able to spot over ten turtles, which was a lot of fun!
The staff were bright and kind.
The area around the sandbar tends to get more rain and the temperatures are lower compared to Waikiki, so it felt a bit chilly.
I'm glad I went, but since we were at the edge of the sandbar, next time I would like to choose a tour company that can take us to the central area.

潮の満ち引きのタイミングが合わず、サンドバーは出現せず、腰の高さくらいの浅瀬でした。
ウミガメウォッチングでは、10匹以上見つけることができて楽しかったです♪
スタッフの皆さんは、明るく優しい方達でした♪
サンドバー周辺の地域は雨が降りやすく気温もワイキキに比べると低めなので、少し肌寒い印象でした。
行って良かったですが、サンドバーの端っこのエリアだったので、次回は中心のエリアに行ける催行会社を選んでみたいと思います☆

The pier is near to the sandbar, it won't take too much time to sailing to there. With clean water and beautiful sandbar scenic, we had a very great time there! During lunch time, with awesome hawaii burger, and enjoy the music singing by the crew, it's the biggest pleasure. Seeing so many green sea turtles is an unforgettable experience, snorkeling around the reef also fun.

Kualoa Ranch is absolutely beautiful with breathtaking views of the mountains and ocean - a must see/visit. The zip line tour simply put was incredible but the icing on the cake, what made it is the employees and guides. We had Emily, David and Malotai as our guides and they were the best - I don’t recall the bus drivers name but she was awesome as well. Mahalo for a great time!

I was really excited to see several sea turtles during the sea turtle watching until we reached the sandbar, but the sandbar was deeper than I expected, so I couldn't sit down to take photos. (I had to give up on sitting my child down with the beautiful scenery in the background...) I think it's better to check the tide schedule in advance. However, both the sea and the sandbar were very beautiful, and I was satisfied!! Please be careful after coming out of the water, as it can get cold.

砂洲に着くまでの海亀ウォッチでは何匹も見れて中々興奮しましたが､砂洲が思っていたよりも深く座って写真撮影はできませんでした。(子供を座らして絶景をバックに…は断念しました)
事前に潮の満ち引きを調べて行った方がいいと思います。
でも海も砂洲もとても綺麗で満足しました！！
海からあがった後は寒いので気をつけて下さい。

The weather was a bit cloudy, but the sandbar was still very beautiful. It was fun to see several sea turtles. It was disappointing that I could hardly see any fish while snorkeling, possibly because it was after the hurricane.

天気は少し曇りでしたが、それでもサンドバーはとてもキレイでした。
ウミガメも何頭も見れて楽しかったです。
ハリケーン後だったからかシュノーケルでお魚が殆ど見れなかったのが残念でした。

Above all, the sea was incredibly beautiful. Luckily, I was able to see couple of sea turtles and manta rays, which was amazing! If I could wish for something, since I went with children, I was walking behind everyone in the snorkeling preparation, and I got pushed back by someone who started snorkeling a bit earlier, so I didn't have enough time to enjoy snorkeling slowly. I would have liked to cut down a bit more time relaxing at the sandbar and had a few more minutes to snorkel. The time was too short, and my child was only able to practice floating. The Japanese guide, the boat captain, and all the staff were very kind, and I was able to enjoy the tour!

何より海がとってもきれいでした。運良くカップルのウミガメやマンタも見ることができ最高でした！欲をいえば、子連れで行ったのでシュノーケリングの準備にてまどりツアーのみんなの後ろを歩いていたからか、一足先にシュノーケリングを始めた人に押し戻されて、ゆっくりシュノーケリングをする時間がなかったです。
サンドバーでゆっくりする時間はもう少し削って、あと数分でも長くシュノーケリングしたかったです。時間が短すぎてこどもは浮く練習をするだけでいっぱいいっぱいでした。日本語のガイドさんや船のキャプテン、スタッフのみなさんはみな優しく、楽しくツアーに参加できました！

The sandbar has beautiful water, and snorkeling was a lot of fun as I could see many fish! The staff were kind and took photos for us, and they were also fun people who really livened up the atmosphere.

Unfortunately, I could only see the sea turtles from a distance due to bad timing, so I gave it four stars, but I was very satisfied with the tour content! There were others who participated with me who saw manta rays and sea turtles while snorkeling, so if you're lucky, you might see them too! ^_^

サンドバーは水面が綺麗で、シュノーケリングはたくさんの魚を見ることができ、とても楽しかったです！スタッフの方も写真を撮ってくださり親切で、また、場を盛り上げてくれる楽しい方々でした。
タイミングが悪く、ウミガメは遠目からしか見ることができなかったため、星4つとさせてもらいましたが、ツアー内容は大変満足いくものでした！一緒に参加された方で、シュノーケリングの時に、マンタとウミガメを見れた！という方もいらっしゃったので、運が良いと見れるかもしれません^_^

The sea of Lanikai, also known as the "Heavenly Sea," was incredibly beautiful. The emerald green areas turn into sandbars during low tide, revealing sandy beaches if the timing is right. If you want to see the beach, you need to check the low tide schedule and join a tour accordingly.
After playing at the sandbar, I had a hamburger on the boat. They grilled it right there, and it was very delicious! ✨
During snorkeling, we were given bread to feed the fish, and many colorful fish gathered around, which was a lot of fun! ♪
The tour guides were also great at keeping the energy up, making it an extremely enjoyable day!!!

天国の海とも称されるラニカイの海が最高に綺麗でしたエメラルドグリーンの部分がサンドバーで浅瀬になっており、干潮のタイミングが良ければ砂浜が出るようです。もし砂浜の状態を見たいのであれば干潮の時間を調べてそれに合わせてツアーに参加する必要があります。
サンドバーで遊んだ後は、船の上でハンバーガーを食べました。その場で焼いてくれていて、とても美味しかったです✨
シュノーケリングでは餌(食パン)をもらって魚にあげてみると、鮮やかな魚たちがたくさん集まってきて楽しかったです♪
ツアーガイドのみなさんも盛り上げるのが上手で非常に楽しい1日になりました！！！

This time, I participated with my daughter. Unfortunately, the sandbar was submerged due to high tide, so there was no beach, but we participated in beach volleyball and had a lot of fun.
The sea turtle watching was amazing; we saw many turtles!
I thought there would be more fish while snorkeling, but I didn't see that many, so that was a bit disappointing. It was probably because the spot I was looking at wasn't very good.
The lunch was delicious as well.
Next time, I would love to join again to see the sandbar during low tide. I look forward to it. Thank you for this time!

今回、娘と2人で参加させて頂きました。サンドバーは満潮にあたり残念ながら砂浜はなく、でも、その中でのビーチバレーに参加し、とても楽しかったです。
ウミガメウォッチングは沢山の亀が見られて最高)^o^(
シュノーケルはもっとお魚が沢山いるかと思ったのですがそれほど見られなくて残念、きっと私が見ていた場所が良くなかったのでしょうね。
ランチも美味しかったです。
是非、今度は干潮の時にサンドバーを見に参加させて頂きます。その時はよろしくお願いします。
そして今回はありがとうございました。

It was my first time kayaking, and I was anxious about going out to sea since I'm not a strong swimmer. However, the instructor was very kind, and since there were five kayaks (ten people), we had instructors in front and behind us, which made me feel secure while paddling. As a result, I was able to enjoy it without capsizing. I'm very satisfied since this is something I can't experience in Japan. If the afternoon session had been one hour longer, I feel like I could have enjoyed snorkeling and shopping even more. During the kayaking, they took many photos, and I was told they would send them to me via email later, so I'm really looking forward to that.

カヤックは初めてで泳ぎも不得意で、沖合に出るのに不安を感じてましたが、
インストラクターの方がとても親切で、5艇（10人）だったので、前後にインストラクターがついてくれ、安心して漕ぐことができました。結果的に､転覆
もなく、とても楽しむことができました。日本では経験できないので大満足です。昼からの時間がもう1時間長ければ、シュノーケリングやショッピングも
もっと楽しめて気がします。
カヤックの途中で何枚も写真を撮っていただき、後で、メールで送っていただけるとのことだったので、とってもお楽しみにしています。

This is my second time on this tour. The staff was the same as last time. Their way of getting everyone excited is the best. Depending on the season, the sandbar was about chest height this time, which was a bit disappointing. When it started to rain, it lasted longer than usual, and the water clarity was lower, but I was able to see several turtles. The hamburger for lunch had a delicious patty. Playing beach volleyball with everyone was incredibly fun. My daughter was happy to take pictures of the many fish around the coral with her beach camera. I rate it one point lower because of the weather. I would like to participate again.

今回このツアーは2回目です。スタッフも前回と同じ顔ぶれでした。
盛り上げ方も最高です。時期にもよるのでしょうが、今回はサンドバーが胸の下くらいまでの高さで、ちょっと残念
雨も降り始めるといつもより長く、海の透明度が低かったけど、亀は何匹も確認できました。ランチのハンバーガーはパテが美味しいです。みんなで遊ぶビーチバレーも最高に楽しかったです。娘はビーチ用のカメラで、サンゴの周りにいるたくさんの魚たちを撮れたと喜んでました。評価は天気のことでマイナス１
また参加したいです。

I rented a bicycle and took my snorkeling gear and mat to Lanikai Beach. I had planned to go to Kailua Town in the afternoon, but the highly praised pizza from the reviews was so delicious that I got full and decided to relax at Lanikai Beach for the rest of the afternoon.

自転車をレンタルして
シュノーケルとゴザをもってラニカイビーチへ
午後からカイルアタウンへ行く予定でしたか
口コミで大好評のピザがとても美味しく
お腹いっぱいになったので
午後からもラニカイビーチでゆっくりしました。

Super beautiful experience! I absolutely wanna participate this again!

It was the best time when we were in hawaii.
-we took a big bus at pick-up time.
-transfer to a boat. Access was easy with my little son.
-we had a wonderful time at the sandbar

The beach was excellent ; clean and quiet
Clew was also excellent ; kind and active
My little son had best play time in the water ; safe and fun

Highly recommend to anyone who would love adventure the tour guide was amazing and made the whole experience memorable can’t thank them enough can’t to do it again definitely coming back the whole process was simple and hassle free

Fortunately, the weather was great, making it a perfect day. We got to see not only sea turtles but also a rare manta ray, and my daughter, who was experiencing the ocean for the first time, was thrilled.

The staff was fun and kind, so I had no worries at all.

If I had to mention one thing, it would be that there were a lot of participants, and the seating on the boat was very cramped... During lunchtime, even though we received our hamburgers, there was nowhere to sit and eat, which was a bit of a hassle...

If it weren't for the cramped conditions on the boat, I think it would have been the best tour ever!☆

ラッキーなことにとてもお天気が良く、最高の1日になりました。
ウミガメはもちろん、レアなマンタにも会え、海が初めての娘も大喜び。

スタッフさんも楽しく＆優しくて、不安は一切ありませんでした。

唯一、言うとしたら、
参加人数が大変多く、船上で座る場所がとても狭かった...
昼食時間はハンバーガーを受け取っても、座って食べる場所がなく、
困りました…

船上での狭さがなければ、最高のツアーだと思います☆

I participated with my mother and younger brother! It was my brother's first time in Hawaii and my mother's first time at the sandbar, but thanks to the fun staff, we had a wonderful time. My elderly mother, who can't swim, was also able to join with peace of mind!

母と弟と三人で参加しました！
弟は初ハワイ　母はサンドバー初でしたが
楽しいスタッフの方々のお陰で素敵な時間となりました。
高齢で泳げない母も安心して参加できました！

It was sunny, but due to strong winds, we were advised to do stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) on the river, and if we wanted to go to the ocean, we would switch to kayaking. We changed to kayaking.

During our free time in the morning, we rented bicycles and went to Lanikai Beach. In the afternoon, we went to Flat Island by kayak.

Both the free time and the tour were a lot of fun, and we thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful ocean in Hawaii! Thank you to Ryusei, Tomo, and all the staff. I would love to go again!

晴れていましたが強風なので、SUPをするなら川で、海に出たいならカヤックと言われ、カヤックに変更になりました。
午前中の自由時間は自転車を借りてラニカイビーチへ。午後カヤックでフラットアイランドに行きました。
自由時間もツアーもとても楽しく、ハワイのきれいな海を大満喫できました！
りゅうせいさん、トモさんはじめスタッフの方々、ありがとうございました。また行きたいと思います！

It was cloudy and the water level was high, so I couldn't see the scenery like in the guidebook, but I was able to see sea turtles and manta rays, which was enjoyable. The bus ride to and from the location had very strong air conditioning, so it would be better to change into clothes instead of wearing a swimsuit on the way back.

曇りなうえに水位も高く、ガイドブックで見るような景色は見られませんでしたが、ウミガメやマンタを見ることができ、楽しめました。行き帰りのバスはかなり冷房がきついので、帰りは水着ではなく服に着替えたほうがよさそうです。

I imagined the scenery featured in a travel guide magazine when I visited the location, but I was really disappointed because it was nothing like the image I had in mind.

旅行ガイド誌に掲載されている風景を思い浮かべて現地に行ったが、
全然イメージにしていた風景ではなかったのでがっかりしました。

The boat had a Japanese female guide who made the experience enjoyable without any inconveniences! The guide was very humorous and fun, creating a friendly atmosphere. I brought my 4-year-old and 10-year-old children along.

Although it was a regular tide day at the sandbar, my 4-year-old was able to play in the shallow water that was about their waist deep. For lunch, we had hamburgers on the boat, and the kids enjoyed them very much.

For snorkeling, we could swim while wearing life jackets, and my 10-year-old had a great time seeing underwater with the borrowed snorkel. My 4-year-old was also able to swim with the life jacket and a floating device that was lent to us!

I was surprised to see many sea turtles, which I hadn't expected at all! After the activities, it felt a bit chilly, but at just the right time, they served hot chocolate, which the kids absolutely loved and enjoyed drinking.

It seems that this tour was the most fun part of our trip to Hawaii for the kids♪ Highly recommended!

船には日本人の女性のガイドの方が乗ってくれており、不自由なく楽しめました！
ガイドの方もとてもユーモアで楽しく、和気あいあいとしていました。
4歳と10歳の子供を連れて行きました。
サンドバーも普通の潮見の日でしたが、4歳児の腹ぐらいの浅瀬で遊べました。
ランチは船上でハンバーガーが食べれて、子供達も美味しく食べれてました。
シュノーケリングは、ライフジャケットを着て泳げるので、10歳は、借りたシュノーケルで水中を見れてとても楽しかった様子。
4歳児も、棒状の浮き具を貸してもらえるので、ライフジャケットと浮き具で泳げました！
あまり期待していなかったウミガメも沢山見れて、びっくり！
アクティビティの後は少し肌寒く感じたのですが、グッドタイミングで、ホットチョコレートを出して下さり、子供達はとーーーっても気に入って、喜んで飲んでいました。
今回のハワイ旅行の中で、子供達は一番楽しかったのが、このツアーだったみたいです♪
とても、オススメ♪

The day after arriving in Hawaii, I chose a course that departed at 9:30 instead of early morning. It was relaxing, so I was able to recover my energy. The scenery and timing were just right.

It had been a while since I went snorkeling, but there were no issues at all. I got to swim around the coral reefs and see beautiful fish, which made for a wonderful time. It was a bit disappointing that it was a little deep due to the tides, but the good weather and the opportunity to interact with foreign travelers made me very satisfied!

ハワイに着いた次の日なので、早朝では無く、９時半出発のコースにしました。ゆったりできたので、体力も回復。景色も時間もちょうど良かったです。
シュノーケリングも久々でしたが、何の問題もなく、サンゴ礁をぐるっと一回りしたり、綺麗な魚を見られて素晴らしい時間でした。滿汐等の関係で少し深かったのが残念でしたが、いいお天気だったことや、外国の旅行者とも交流できるので、私は大満足でした！

This was my first time in Hawaii.
I participated with my two sons, aged 9 and 11, making it a family of four.
We were satisfied with both the swimming and lunch.
This tour is popular and fills up quickly, so I recommend making a reservation early if you're considering a trip to Hawaii.

★Departure★
We were picked up under the flagpole at the Ilikai Hotel.
It’s also a pickup spot for Dolphin University and other tours, so it was quite crowded.
The bus arrived about 10 minutes late, but I felt reassured because I had called the contact number provided by Veltra to ask for the bus number.
The pickup location is also a stop for the pink line bus from Ala Moana Shopping Mall (free with a JCB card), so you could arrive by that bus as well.
After a 60-minute bus ride, we arrived at the port.

★Boarding - Sandbar★
We were split into two groups: Japanese and others.
Around 40:15, there were a lot of Japanese people.
Since the boat was the same size, it felt a bit crowded here.
We went with one Japanese person and a cheerful foreign staff member who understood Japanese. Let’s go!!
Drinks were provided along the way.
The lemonade was fantastic!
We arrived at the sandbar in about 30 minutes.

★Sandbar★
Unfortunately, it wasn't an island but rather a shallow area up to our stomachs.
If you really want an island experience, you can choose from three tour times: morning, noon, and afternoon, so check the tide schedule before making a reservation!
Here, we practiced snorkeling.
It was just right for the kids to get accustomed!
With the emerald blue sea and sandy coral, we took photos and enjoyed the clear water.
Beach volleyball was open for everyone to join!
It was a lot of fun.
Snorkels and life jackets are available for rent.
Fins are for the next coral reef.

★Lunch - Turtle Tour★
Lunch consisted of huge burgers!
The meat was freshly grilled on the boat.
The staff came aboard and performed live music with a guitar, and I thought, "Ah, this is a resort."

After finishing our meal, we set off.
We watched turtles while heading to the large coral reef.
On average, we saw one every 2-3 minutes.
I think we saw about 10-15 turtles.

★Snorkeling at the Coral Reef★
We received bread and off we went!
The fish gathered around, and when we offered the bread, they nibbled at it!
And then, a turtle swam right beside us!
I made a wish and swam together for about 30 seconds.
We swam for about 30 minutes, but due to a series of jellyfish stings (the blue ones), we had to cut it short.
(My wife also got stung.)

Those who were stung by jellyfish were treated with warm packs or cream.
The staff here were very attentive and provided great service.
We enjoyed warm drinks on the way back.

★Return★
The bus was 30 minutes late, haha.
But it was nice to have a little break on land.
It seems like taking a direct route from the boat to the bus could lead to motion sickness.
Everyone has their own perspective on this.

★Overall Review★
It was very good!
Next time, I want to achieve "landing" on the sandbar!

はじめてのハワイでした。

(うちの嫁も被害に)

クラゲに刺された人は、お湯パックであっためたり
クリームを塗ってもらっていました。
ここでもスタッフが手厚く、対応良かったです。
あったかい飲み物を飲みながら帰投。

★帰り★
バスが30分遅れ笑
でもまあ、少し陸上で休憩できてよかったかも。
船→バスのダイレクトだと酔う可能性高そうですね。
ここの考え方は人それぞれということで。

★総評★
とても良かったです！
今度はサンドバー「上陸」果たしたいです^ ^

We had so much fun!
Beautiful weather, awesome views and a very knowledgeable, funny guide.
Next time we want to ride the horses!
We were very impressed that the ranch is being run by 8th generation family members.

We signed up for the two hour guided tour. This was perfect for our family. Our guide (Nick) was very friendly and gave us some great pointers on additional things to do on our vacation on Oahu. After our kayak tour, we were able to use their bicycles and ride to the beach to spend some time snorkeling before it was time to head back to our hotel.

まずは、ボートで数分走って、サンドバーを散歩しながら説明を聞いたり写真撮影などをします。
プライベートなので、人の少ない所に連れて行ってもらえるため、写真撮影では他の人が映らない景色をたくさん撮影することができました。そのあと、サンドバーの近くにあるシュノーケリングスポット(ちょうど水深が深くなるところ)に移動して、希望者はシュノーケルをしました。大きな魚がたくさんいました。
お腹がすいてきたので、船上でランチです。同じツアー会社の大人数を乗せる船も催行しており、そこで焼いたカルビやソーセージも頂き、最後は、ウォーターアクティビティーを楽しみました。３時間は長すぎるかと思いきやあっという間に楽しい時間が過ぎ去ってしまいましたが、非常によい思い出になりました。

昼食用のごはんや飲み物は、とっても美味しく満足のいく量があります。お酒を3缶持っていき、氷がたくさん入ったアイスボックスで冷やしてもらいもらえました。
シュノーケルセットは、透明度が高く海の中がくっきり見え、視力が弱くても海の中ではきれいに見えます。

6人いるなら絶対にプライベートボートがおすすめです。
さわやかで優しい日本人女性ガイドさんと、若々しく機転を利かせながらもてなしてくれるキャプテンの２名が、きめ細やかな対応をしてくださいました。写真もたくさん撮影してくださるし、子供のわがままにも応えてくれ(早く次に行きたい、あれがやりたいなど)ました。シュノーケルする前に、シュノーケリングの基本を教えてくださり、ガイドさんは常にライフセーバー用の浮き棒をもってシュノーケルのところまで一緒に来てくださるので、いつでも安心です。本当にどうもありがとうございました！
